Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to compare patient preferences for administering pegfilgrastim, a medication used to prevent chemotherapy-induced neutropenia, via prefilled syringe versus pen device among cancer patients at the Rafael Institute in France.
- In the trial involving 150 patients, results showed a significant preference for the pen device, with participants reporting lower pain levels and more positive emotions compared to the syringe, although satisfaction with nursing care was higher with the syringe.
- Overall, the findings highlighted a stronger preference for using the pen device for administration, which can help shape clinical practices and enhance patient-centered care.

Angiopoietin-like 4 (ANGPTL4) proteolytic fragments have controversial biological effects on endothelium permeability. Here, we studied the link between ANGPTL4 and the risk of brain metastasis in cancer patients.
